Rolwaling trek offers an adventure walking along the high glacier
Chho Rolpa lakes and Tashilaptsa pass. The trek goes close to the
Tibetan frontier with an enormous rock precipice from a narrow defile in
the wall appearing as if spilt with a giant. This is the most remote
and beautiful trekking trail providing magnificent mountain scenery in
the middle-east hill region in Nepal.

The trek to this are starts with
bus drive from kathmandu to Barabise and trek steep uphill to the
Tinsang La with its rewarding views that includes Everest we descend to
Bigu Gompa and the Bhoti Kosi. A pleasant walk along the rivers,
brings you to Monthole village. It is almost steep climb from the Bhote
Kosi River all the way Simigoan. From here the trail passes beautiful
mixed forest along the the Rolwaling River. Continue uphill trek to
Bedding and NA where you will visit the nearby Glacier Lake.

Finally
you will find more adventures camping along the Cho-Rolpa glacier lake
and a hard walk on the snow to cross the Tashilaptsa which is like
climbing Ramdung Peak and come to the Thame-Nache and flow the main
trail to Lukla to fly out to kathmandu.

Tips for the trekking crew, other optional trips/activities and sightseeing if required

We will come back to climb again

We traveled through the Rolwaling with a guide, cook and porters organized with Holiday Mountain Treks. Our interest was to climb two peaks in the Rolwaling but had some problems with the weather on one peak and acclimatization on the other. We were quite happy and could not expect more with Holiday Mountain Treks, they organized the trip well and their price was great. Our guide was energetic and good with the group. The food was great. The cook made the best food with different test everyday. As well our porters were extremely hardworking and always cheerful. We will come back to climb again some mountains in this beautiful country and will definitely use the Holiday Mountain Treks. We will also highly recommend this agency to all our friends in Europe.
